AN OUTRAGE IN IRELAND.

Several English members OF Parliament,
among them Sir Wilfred Blunt, who is
now Home Ruler, though formerly a
Tory, attempted to address meeting at
Woodford, Ireland. The meeting had
been prohibited by the Government, and
when Blunt assembled the platform he
was roughly handled and thrown down
by the police, who afterwards arrested
him and lodged him in jail Lady Blunt
tainted and lay on the grass unconscious
for some time. Blunt when asked
whether he would give bail, replied that
~ ao Englishman he believed the action
Of the police to be illegal, and he would
rather be imprisoned than give pledge
70 the representative Of Tory Govern.
mont.
Before the meeting, which was held
under the auspices Of the British Home
Rule Union, Sir Wilfred Blunt guaran'
teed TO the magistrate that moderate Lam
guage would be used, and said he would
hold the magistrate responsible If he at.
tackled an unarmed, orderly meeting
The ARRAY at the staud, in which some
thirty persons were injured, and the ar
rest OF Blunt, has created great excitement
throughout England and Ireland. No one
believes that Blunt committed an offense
Tor which he can be prosecuted, and some
Of the London papers say tho conduct Of
the Government was absolutely lawless,
~ the meeting had been called by an
Epglish association.

A TUSSLE WITH A BEAR,
How q West yirginian Had Hard Fight
With Bruin.

How q West yirginian Had Hard Fight
With Brufn.
Nicholas Fleming (Uncle Nick, as he is
called) is an old hunter in the forests of
the Alleghanies. Says Cranberry Run
CIV. Va.) correspondent of the New York
World: Fleming counts nine fresh bear
scalps this season, and is feeling as good
as a man with dozen bites and the
wear and tear of an old male bears claws
can feel. He is long, lank, raw-boned
fellow, who delights in a fair stand-up
fight with his game, and whose grit and
nerve are indisputable, but his last fight
will probably remain fresh in his mem
DRY for long time.
Thursday of last week Fleming got on
the track of large bear, and followed it
up with his two dogs, Bull and Snapper
The dogs are well trained and took as
much pleasure in running down their
game as did their master. The track was
followed from corn field into the hills,
and in an hour Fleming knew by the eX-
element of the dogs that they were get
ting close to him. The dogs were run
ming ahead of the hunter, about 200 yards,
baying at regular intervals, when, just as
Fleming sprang over large fallen tree,
he came face to face with the largest bear
he ever saw. The hunter hadn't time to
level his gun before the bear was upon
him. He gave Fleming a blow with one
of his paws which knocked him fiat and,
before he could get upon his feet or draw
his hunting knife, the beast was indus
triously chewing his right leg, while his
forepaws, armed with claws three inches
long, were tearing his clothing into
strips.
Fleming turned over in his endeavor
to get upon his feet or away from the
bear, when the animal caught him be-
tween the shoulders with his claws and
stripped the clothing from his collar to
his waist, leaving half dozen rips down
his back half an inch or more deep from
his collar-bone to his hips
fortunately for Fleming, his faithful
dogs arrived upon the scene by this time
and distracted the bears attention long
enough for Fleming to crawl to his gun,
level it behind the bears shoulder and
shoot him through the heart The bear
fell dead within half dozen feet of the
hunter, who dropped to the ground and
tainted. He recovered in a short time
sufficiently to crawl to narrow path in
the woods, where he lay for several
hours, and where he would probably
have persisted had not neighbor hap
pened to pass that way. Fleming was
taken home, where he is recovering, and
will probably be ready to try it again in
few weeks.
1.-The bear weighed $50 pounds and is
believed to be the largest one killed in
that section in twenty years."

several years and large expeI fitura Of
smoney for their construction, and while m
dolbtedly necessary for thorough defense
any measures are worthy Of careful consid-
cation that promise to secure quickly and
at a moderate cost weapons always valuable
as auxiliary means OF defense, but which, in
the absence of more complete systam
might yet be utilized with good effect. Pne11,
matte guns, throwing large charges of high
explosives, are comparatively inexpensive to
construct and operate, and moreover, arpear
from recent experiments to produce within
the limit OF their range very conclusive re-
suits. | believe the efforts in this direction
should be encouraged. 1t is not possible to
predict what their final issue NAV be, but that
still further advance can be made seems
very probable, and an increased range and
greater explosive effect can fairly be aDtic1
pated
General Sheridan concludes his report
as follows:
am strongly in favor of the general gov.
eminent extending all possible aid to the
national guard of the different States, as
they constitute body of troops that in any
great emergency would form an important
part OF our military force. They should be
armed with the best weapons amply pro-
Vlded with complete camp anC garrison
equlpage and instructed III the various drills
ana exercises according to the tactics and
systems followed in the regular army.
According my observation and experience
most Of the State troops now march we'll and
handle the gun WE'LL but they are deficient
III dI5clpline and in all the duties that teach
soldier to take care of himself while in
camp or upon march. This defect can best be
overcome by establishing some system of ell
campment under the control and direction
ana at the entire expense Of the general gov
eminent In the development of such a
measure the entire army, as well as myself
personally, Will be glad to render such assist
ance as les IN our power, and recommend
that the favorable consideration of the sub
Ject may be commended to Congress

RATS TEETH.
The Rodent Peculiarly Fitted for the Life
He is to Lead.

The rat is finely equipped for the pecu-
liar life he is ordained to lead. He has
strong weapon in the shape OF four
long and very sharp teeth-two. m, the
upper jaw and two in the lower. These
teeth are wedge-shaped, and, by Won
derful provision of nature, have always
fine. sharp cutting edge. On examln-
ing them carefully, the inner part IS
found to be of soft, ivory-like compo-
sition, which can be easily worn away
and the outside is composed of glass
like enamel, which is exceedingly hard.
The upper teeth work into the inat tea so
meet perfectly in the act of Ignawlng,
hence the soft part is being continually
worn away, while the hard part keeps a
sharp, chisel-like edge all the time, ana
at the same time the teeth are constantly
growing up from the bottom, 50 tn nad do

A TRIBUTE TO MAYO.

Mayo is beautiful and rich in picturesque scenes
Adorned are her valleys and crystal are he1
streams;
Her mountains are majestic and sheds gorgeous
On the many varied sceneries of gallant sweet
Her sons are bold, undaunted, and nobly stood
In days of devastation, when they were sore OPP
pressed;
Her daughters are most gentle and pure as any
That covers the highest mountains of gallant,
sweet Mayo.
We first may visit Ballinrobe and view that fine
old town,
Where kings did live in former days and bards of
high renown;
Through this town the river robe so charmingly
does flow,
And is one of the varied sceneries of gallant,
sweet Mayo.
We next may visit Ballina, where we may stop
and rest,
And view the lovely monasteries that adorn the
lovely west;
Kings and princes here were taught and history
does show
That the greatest schools of art and love are in
gallant, sweet Mayo.
Then take a trip to Ballindine, where we may
stop awhile,
And gaze in deep amazement on this monastic
pile;
Round about this ancient place zephyr breezes
blow
And makes one more enchanting scene for gal
liant, sweet Mayo.
Now take a trip to Ballaghadereen, there all
things seem SO gay,
Where schools, convent and colleges with learn
ing bloom to-day;
Close by it is high Bockagh Hill, from which
pellucid waters flow,
Enhaling the balmy fragrance of gallant, sweet
Mayo.
Who dares speak i'll of brave Mayo, or try to run
it down;
Where would you have your Land League were it
not for Irishtown?
Who rocked it in its infancy and spread the light,
you know;
1t was brave Michael Davitt, from gallant, sweet
MayO
